That sure describes Menard's. Big hardware store with a big lumberyard.
Their tool stock isn't as good as Lowe's but their lumber is much
better.

It's another big-box home improvement chain, but not national. They're in the
upper-Midwest only, with the largest concentrations of stores in the Chicago,
Minneapolis, and Indianapolis regions.

I'm not sure I'd classify them as big-box, unless they've changed considerably
in the last 10 years or so. More like Orchard Supply Hardware in the SF bay
area; big hardware stores with lumber yards, usually outdoors.
